Dark and Deep

Dark and Deep is a horror game starring Samuel Judge, a devoted listener of the mysterious conspiracy podcast of the same name. When he is plunged into a shadowy, dangerous landscape, he must survive its inhabitants and uncover a conspiracy as the real and surreal begin to collide. The story takes about 4–6 hours to play.

Story and world

As the podcast’s story of intrigue and betrayal unfolds, it comes dangerously close to home for Samuel. The game’s surreal world draws on mythology and the strange and ancient, with much of its visual style using textures based on 19th-century artist Gustave Doré’s detailed black-and-white illustrations of mythological and historical scenes.

Frames and combat

A mysterious observer gives Samuel mystical picture frames that reveal hidden secrets, important objects and lurking enemies. The frames also help him fight hidden creatures and banish darkness. He can use them alongside ancient supernatural machines found in the world, while protecting the embers of light that help guide him through the deadly dark.

Puzzles and survival

You solve physics puzzles with powerful machines of cryptic origin, manipulate gravity and clear paths through deadly fog. The cryptic, surreal landscape is filled with dangerous inhabitants and challenging puzzles, and creatures in the shadows try to steal your light.
